About this tour

Leaving Milan behind, we leave the frenetic pace of the city behind us and head for the rolling hills of the Langhe, one of Italy’s most fascinating wine-producing regions. While Milan and its most famous destinations fill up with visitors, our journey takes us in the opposite direction, towards Alba and Piedmont, areas that retain a relaxed and authentic atmosphere even in summer.

Here you will discover Alba, a real gem still far from mass tourism, famous throughout the world for its fine hazelnuts, white truffles and top-quality cuisine. Between tastings of Barolo and Barbaresco, local flavours and glimpses of timeless charm, you will enjoy a genuine and engaging experience in a city that seems to preserve the slow and refined rhythm of Piedmontese tradition intact.

Included/Excluded

  • Air-conditioned vehicle
  • Tasting of 5 glasses of wine (including 2 Barbaresco).
  • Walking tour of Alba with a professional English-speaking guide.
